Siemens Energy is already, in my opinion, regarded as a major, experienced player that will win many a large order given the enormous plans by countries in the Middle East. The same goes for the USA where the corporation is represented strongly too.
The loss for the financial year ended September 2021 of EUR 500 million (EUR 673 million loss as a nonrecurring item) does, however, indicate the general trend if you compare these figures with the same period last year and the loss of EUR 1.9 billion (with large nonrecurring expenditure). Siemens Energy is building on a sustainable, achievable operating profit margin of 3 to 5 percent and can therefore feel pleased that its “H2ready” power plant concept has been certified by TÜV Süd – the first project of its kind and a blueprint for more of the same.
Conclusion: The company, as a one-stop shop partner offering relevant solutions as far as clean energy and production and processing/use is concerned, will benefit from the enormous growth in all hydrogen economy and renewable energy segments. Just by themselves, the multi-100-billion investment plans of Middle Eastern countries, such as Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Qatar, are playing into the hands of Siemens Energy. Classified as a buy. Investment horizon: medium-term – two to three years with the aim of exceeding the current peak price for this stock.
